I was trying to be reconciliatory. But yeah most of their stars were actually just horribly washed shadows of their former selves But you left Gaborik off and gosh he was incredible the 10 games a year he was healthy. One of my favorites from that era

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I was trying to be reconciliatory. oh we have zero complaints about Gaborik. he was a sick signing, maybe like our second best ever behind Panarin. Trocheck is also quickly getting up there, insane season for him. I don't think any of us were fully onboard with trading him, although Brassard was a certified Big Game Playoff Player who meshed really well with Zuccarello and Pouliot in 2013-2014. and then he got us Mika. so also we can't be too mad about the trade. although Gaborik was smoking hot in the 2014 playoffs and helped the Kings beat us. I always have had a lot of respect for Sutter because he somehow was the only coach in Gaborik's career seemingly to realize that he was an insane net-front garbage opportunity goal guy stuck in a speedskater's body. Kind of a lot like Kreider but from 5 feet further.

I'm guessing next year's games will be spicier, which should be fun

Caps are so awful, like 1/3rd the team is AHLers and one in particular, McIlrath, spent the whole dang night doing old time hockey and knocking random players over. When the one ref took a tumble I expected to see a replay of him hit sticking the dude But now comes for the greatest thing left for this team to do: have undrafted 30 year old Lindgren do a Halak on the Rangers so Laviolette can do a bunch of Laviolette faces in exasperation

I’m not that surprised he has a few shorties, he is after all a pretty good skater, who isn’t exactly concerned with correct/safe defensive positioning.

That is correct. Torts says he didn't hear about the Wings OT until right after the Caps scored the ENG. https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1780443797656146251

Caps ceiling is stealing one round on Charlie's back. 0% chance they do more than that. More realistic scenario injuring a Ranger while getting swept.

For the Caps the blueprint for upsetting the Rags is going be look a lot like how the 2010 Habs beat the Caps in round 1: -Get an early lead off of a counter attacking goal or two then choke the life out of the game, relying on Lindgren to bail them out when the dam breaks. -Hope the refs swallow their whistles and the series is largely played 5 on 5, as the Rangers are clear favorites in the special teams battle, their power play is lethal and has gotten them back into many games in which they were largely outplayed at 5v5. It will almost certainly take 7 for the Caps to win as there will inevitably be a few games where the Rangers just run roughshod over them even if they do stick to their game plan as the talent disparity is clear and the Caps are not a team you can count on to rally from multiple goal deficits against good teams. Bonus points: have Tom Wilson or one of the Caps' career AHLers take Panarin/Fox out of the series early with a flying elbow, as even if they eat a lengthy suspension those two players for the Rangers are far more important to their success tha any one guy for the Caps save maybe Strome. TO BE CLEAR I am not a Caps fan nor am I advocating for this and think this is a bullshit strategy but we all know how these things go in the playoffs and how little the NHL does to protect their star players.
